That night, Ye Gubai received Shen Miaomiao's relatives.
They wouldn't have come so quickly originally; they had only heard that Ye Gubai had established Ye Valley.
They came here two days early to broaden their horizons.
Ye Gubai was not stingy with money for Shen Miaomiao's family.
They brought out the things they had obtained in the wild to entertain them.
For example, after serving monkey wine, they even gave a portion to the father-in-law.
Shen Miaomiao's father received a large jar of monkey wine as a gift, which made him so happy that he almost jumped for joy.
Of course, none of this concerns Ye Gubai anymore.
After the event ended, he returned to his pavilion in Tinghu to rest.
Zi Yue Ru and Yu Mei Yu did not come over tonight.
They plan to give Shen Miaomiao more private space.
...
On the bed, Shen Miaomiao pressed down on Ye Gubai and said, "Soon, we will become a real husband and wife."
"These are just empty titles; in reality, we have been for a long time," Ye Gubai said with a smile.
Whether or not one gets married is merely a matter of social status.
However, if Shen Miaomiao wants it, he won't refuse her.
From this day forward, Shen Miaomiao will become his legal wife.
As for whether he had concubines or not, Ye Gubai was unsure.
...
After all that fuss, time passed.
Two days later, the official wedding day arrived.
Those who had been invited by Ye Gubai also came to Ye Valley to participate.
The number of participants was actually not very large.
Aside from the in-laws invited by Shen Miaomiao, only a few of her close friends were present.
Of course, it wasn't that other people weren't coming, but rather that Shen Miaomiao only invited this many people.
As for Ye Gubai, he invited even fewer people.
Apart from the Yu family father and son, and Shang Xianzhi with Shang Ling'er.
The only remaining person was Secretary Wen, the representative sent by Wang Xizhi.
As the head of the state, Wang Xizhi naturally wouldn't personally attend Ye Gubai's wedding.
However, the fact that he sent Secretary Wen was enough to demonstrate how much he valued Ye Gubai.
The number of attendees was not large, making the banquet somewhat resemble a Western affair.
It gives people a feeling of combining Chinese and Western elements, and achieving success in both aspects.
"Welcome, please take a seat." Ye Gubai greeted Secretary Wen, who had just arrived.
These were people he had invited, so naturally he was the one who entertained them.
As for the people Shen Miaomiao invited, he would help entertain them when he had time.
"I didn't prepare any gifts for this trip, please don't mind, Xiao Ye," Secretary Wen said politely.
"A gift? I don't need it, it would be best if you could come."
"And Secretary Wen, remember to take an extra gift for the guests and give it to Old Master Wang."
"Oh, by the way, please also bring a portion of this jar of monkey wine to Old Wang."
While Ye Gubai was making his way, he also brought out two jars of monkey wine for Secretary Wen.
If they were only given small gold ingots, these high-ranking and powerful people would definitely not bother to look at them, but giving them monkey wine is a different story.
Ye Gubai believed that no one who drinks would refuse this stuff.
You can tell from Secretary Wen's expression that, as a secretary, she has had her fair share of drinking evasions.
Over time, they became acquainted about drinking.
She was shocked when she smelled the monkey wine that was originally placed on the table to entertain guests.
Unexpectedly, Ye Gubai actually wanted to give it to her.
She had one jar, and Old Wang had one jar.
"This, this..." Secretary Wen was very conflicted.
Before coming here, Old Wang told her that she should not accept anything from Ye Gubai.
But now, she's caught in a dilemma: accepting the monkey wine is one thing, refusing it is another.
Accepting it would be against the rules, but refusing it might upset Old Wang later.
"There's no need to worry too much. This is the result of our friendship. There won't be any problem accepting it."
"I'll go entertain others first. Secretary Wen, you can wander around and have some fun by yourself."
Seeing the other party's hesitation, Ye Gubai immediately fled, giving them no chance to back out.
Secretary Wen, seeing Ye Gubai leave, could only helplessly accept the gift.
She looked around at the guests, then picked up a glass of wine and walked to Shang Xianzhi's side.
"Did he only invite you, Elder Shang?" Secretary Wen asked curiously.
She didn't recognize the others; they were all unfamiliar faces.
The only one I recognized was this Shang Xianzhi.
"Hmm... I'm a little surprised by that too."
"I never saw him socialize with other people much normally, and now it's clear that's the case."
Shang Xianzhi said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"You say Ye Gubai has few connections, but that's because he's unwilling to make friends."
"But looking at it another way, isn't this situation also a result of his laziness in making friends?"
"In his view, being good at making friends is probably a bad thing."
Faced with Shang Xianzhi's teasing, Secretary Wen nodded silently.
In her opinion, Ye Gubai was indeed that kind of person.
Ye Gubai returned to the gate of Ye Valley and met Master Luo Ang, who had also come to the banquet.
Beside the master was a stranger.
His aura is impressive; he's a master.
Perhaps these were bodyguards hired by the master to ensure his safety on the road.
After all, Master Roang only possesses forging skills, which are not easy for him in combat.
"Welcome, Master. Please come in, I'll show you inside."
"There are gifts available, please take one each."
Ye Gubai entertained the two and led them into Ye Valley.
Zi Yueru and Yu Meiyu looked helpless as Ye Gubai left again.
The two of them were asked to be greeters, joining Ye Gubai and Shen Miaomiao in entertaining the guests.
Shen Miaomiao was alright; her guests were mostly relatives.
